Embodiment Construction

[0068] The following is a detailed description of the best presently known modes of carrying out the invention. This description is not limiting, but merely given for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention.

[0069] exist Figure 5-8 An exemplary headgear according to at least one of the present inventions is shown in and generally designated by the reference numeral 100 . Exemplary headgear 100 can include a housing 102 having a body portion 104 and a cover 106, and a removable cap 108 that can be secured to the housing. A single headgear magnet device (also referred to herein as a “magnet”) 110 - 1 is located within a receptacle 112 that extends to a top wall 114 of the body portion 104 . Cap 108 retains magnet 110-1 within receptacle 112 and is removable and reattachable so that the magnet can be removed and replaced. as the following reference Figure 9-13 As discussed in more detail, the receptacle 112 is constructed in such a way that a c...

Abstract

A headpiece includes a housing, a headpiece magnet carried by the housing and a headpiece antenna carried by the housing.

Description

[0001] background [0002] 1. Technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to implantable cochlear stimulation (or "ICS") systems. [0004] 2. Background technology [0005] The ICS system is used to help the severely deaf perceive the sensation of sound by directly stimulating the intact auditory nerve with controlled electrical pulses. Externally worn microphones pick up the surrounding sound pressure waves and convert them into electrical signals. These electrical signals are in turn processed by a sound processor and converted into pulse trains of varying pulse width, rate, and / or amplitude that are transmitted to the ICS system's implantable receiver circuitry. An implanted receiver circuit is connected to an array of implantable electrodes that have been inserted into the cochlea of ​​the inner ear, and electrical stimulation current is applied to the changing combination of electrodes to produce the perception of sound. Alternatively, the electrod...
